"64% of baby boomers reported moderate to high levels of stress about their retirement savings." (T. Rowe Price, 2024) Life happens and we know that sometimes you can't control what happens to you. The best way to mitigate any risk is to educate and prepare yourself in as many ways as possible. Having a diverse set of backups and plans can help ease that stress. When it comes to finances we found a great piece of information we wanted to share. With the economy moving up and down over time there's not much anyone can predict exactly. Run away from those! No one has a crystal ball to tell you what to do. What you do have is education and the ability to gain more understanding to become financially literate. Whether you have projects that need investing in or looking for projects to invest into -- doing your due diligence is super important! And if you're heading closer to retirement you don't have the time or luxury to learn and educate yourself in all things money. Even though we never offer investment, tax, or legal advice... our goal here is to empower and educate our community to help them make the best possible decisions they can around their financial lives and future.
